Are you planning to be away from your softener for an extended period of time? There are a couple of things we recommend you do. Read on below. If your softener will be left in an environment that could drop below freezing, please follow our Winterizing instructions.
Before You Leave
- You'll want to bypass the softener to stop water flow through the system. You can bypass your unit by pushing IN on the bypass handle (see photo on left), or you can use the valves on your home plumbing, if present (see photo on right).
- We recommend disconnecting the power supply from your unit to prevent recharging while you're away. Be sure to note down your settings in case the control board requires some reprogramming once you return.
When You Return
- Upon your return, plug your softener back in and program if necessary.
- Take the system out of bypass by pulling the handle back OUT and run a manual recharge.
